I realize that these are not scientific polls, but when many of them, across the board all support one candidate while the scientific polls show something else, it doesn't pass the smell test. I'm not saying anything hinky is going on, but I'd want exit polls to help paint a fuller picture.

Why is the support of African Americans funny to you? bobbobbins01 Nov 2015 #2

His support among us is far less than 20 percent. bravenak Nov 2015 #3

Its more than a few tweets. bobbobbins01 Nov 2015 #4

Way less than 20 percent. bravenak Nov 2015 #5

OK. Fawke Em Nov 2015 #54

It is all over DU. bravenak Nov 2015 #140

then why do you have to pm it to people? ablamj Nov 2015 #141

Because they had not seen it. They were not on that thread. bravenak Nov 2015 #144

I guess I wasn't on that thread either. ablamj Nov 2015 #145

Ahem... Fawke Em Nov 2015 #58

Okay but that has nothing to do with the actual election. bravenak Nov 2015 #68

Well, the drum poll included all the presidential candidates. Fawke Em Nov 2015 #104

Bernie's doing great with AAs, doubled his support this past month as they get to know him. sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #102

I think you might react more favorably to his speech femmedem Nov 2015 #61

I used to love his answers. bravenak Nov 2015 #71

Thank you. bravenak Nov 2015 #153

Derry McKesson's polling maybe correct for the people who follow him. That is the problem with any LiberalArkie Nov 2015 #6

Yeah. The polling was laughable. bravenak Nov 2015 #7

I don't think its laughable. bobbobbins01 Nov 2015 #9

I bet the negative comments get ignored. bravenak Nov 2015 #11

Ignored by who? bobbobbins01 Nov 2015 #13

The candidate. He does not seem to know why he has issues with black voters. bravenak Nov 2015 #14

Seems like a lot of assuming. bobbobbins01 Nov 2015 #16

If he does not see them, why not? bravenak Nov 2015 #17

What issues has he not addressed? bobbobbins01 Nov 2015 #19

The lack of diversity and inclusion. bravenak Nov 2015 #25

I'm sorry that happened to them. bobbobbins01 Nov 2015 #38

He has to make the enviroment inclusive. Say what type of support he rejects. bravenak Nov 2015 #41

A better definition: Non existent self importance AgingAmerican Nov 2015 #162

And she is a confirmed troll: kath Nov 2015 #50

That is not trolling. That is telling how I felt in a PRIVATE MESSAGE. bravenak Nov 2015 #53

It's how you translate those feelings into action on DU that is relevant. kristopher Nov 2015 #64

Banned for supporting a candidate most fiercely? That is strange as this is a political board. bravenak Nov 2015 #67

So you actually did say that? bobbobbins01 Nov 2015 #72

so. that your stated words that you support hill so you can troll roguevalley Nov 2015 #75

I already sent it. You can delete it or post it. I do not care anymore. bravenak Nov 2015 #79

Wrong.. opiate69 Nov 2015 #83

Why would I send a message telling how I felt if that was trolling? bravenak Nov 2015 #89

Such an alleged high IQ and yet such underwhelming reading comprehension. opiate69 Nov 2015 #95

Bernie's doing great with Black voters now that they are getting know him, Ignore that old sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #155

It's not laughable. It is however, scary to the establishment. New poll from NBC proves what sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #20

Yes, that is why I posted this poll bobbobbins01 Nov 2015 #23

Twitter Poll? ROFLMAO leftofcool Nov 2015 #8

Its a twitter poll that targets a lot of BLM activists. bobbobbins01 Nov 2015 #10

So? It is still a Twitter Poll leftofcool Nov 2015 #12

OK, but your sigline references a movement not a person. bobbobbins01 Nov 2015 #15

That poll is NOT the microcosm. bravenak Nov 2015 #18

No, I don't see bobbobbins01 Nov 2015 #21

Like the ISidewith poll that showed him winning all fifty states? You see that as the microcosm too? bravenak Nov 2015 #26

No, that poll isn't a microcosm at all. bobbobbins01 Nov 2015 #30

You see THAT as the macrocosm? Ok. bravenak Nov 2015 #31

Why can't Hillary win a twitter poll? I would be worried too if my candidate couldn't win sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #28

Sanders supporters are legion. bobbobbins01 Nov 2015 #34

Particularily given her vast twitter support AgingAmerican Nov 2015 #35

And name recognition. Seriously I would be very worried if I were part of her campaign. sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #36

I think there needs to be exit polls at every polling station. bobbobbins01 Nov 2015 #45
